The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins have signed left wing Luca Caputi to an amateur professional contract, it was announced on Thursday.

Caputi, 19, recently completed his junior season with the Niagara IceDogs of the Ontario Hockey League. The 6-3, 185 pound native of Toronto finished fourth in the OHL with 111 points and third with 51 goals. He also added 17 points (8+9) in 10 postseason games with the IceDogs.

For his career, Caputi recorded 185 points (86+99) in 214 games. He was selected by Pittsburgh in the fourth round (111th overall) of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.

I think anyone signed to an ATO is instantly eligible. Nemec signed one a few years back and played right away. Which makes me wonder since Jeffrey did actually sign his entry level deal in the fall can he play? How did they handle Letang last year after he signed his entry level, was he on the clear day roster for the playoffs? Is Jeffrey now?
